In The Rain

The words
drip off my tongue
like a bitter herbal syrup
and fall into your mouth
The rain is falling here,
but i can still see you
This pain is hurting here
but I'll keep it a secret

the machines
grind into my core
making odd beeping noises
and producing a creature
just for you
the rain is falling here
how i fear each drop
the pain, in secret, is here
will it ever stop?

the ocean
creates cascading waves
that crush me into you
and i can't escape you,
do i want to?
the rain is falling here
yet you sheild me from it
the pain, in secret, hurts here
and are you the one to save me from it?

the bomb
explodes over our heads
I am running, trying to find you
as the rubble collides,
as the shrapnel slices
The rain is falling here
and i can see you
the pain, in secret, hurts here
can you feel it?

the rain,
it embraces me
and most willingly
I fall into it
you reach out, grabbing my arm
pulling me back,
holding me

In the rain,
the pain hurts worse here.
